A bit of both - ie having had a previous caesarian, a VBAC poses a 1% chance of the previous scar rupturing - with the likely outcome if I were unlucky enough to fall into that 1% being loss of baby and need for a hysterectomy. So a repeat caesarian is the best option for getting baby out safely. Admittedly the chance of the scar rupturing is unlikely and if I really wanted to birth naturally that very slight risk wouldn't deter me in itself.
Berry are you saying that for yourself or in general ? if you are saying for yourself then thats fine I dont know your circumstances but if you are saying for it in general then I have to correct you
However, when I take into account my very long labour and natural birth experience, which was traumatic, and baby's shoulder was caught on the way out and I almost needed an emergency c-section after all the tiring process and pain, then I would prefer to have a half hour c-section delivery this time on a planned day, knowing my kids are planned to be with grandparents that day and everything is effortlessly organised.
